I created an Ethereum Consortium Leader instance on Microsoft Azure and they provided us with an Admin site and RPC endpoint:

http://someName.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/

http://someName.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com:8545

Why these are publicly accessible ? Is it because its a test account ? How can I create a real Ethereum blockchain on Azure and put some real Ether in it after purchasing from crypto-currency exchange ?

Ethereum Consortium Network is a private blockchain network and it does nothing with actual Ethereum. Microsoft provide the blockchain as BaaS on Azure platform.

BaaS - Backend-as-a-Service

  • For real ether you don't need your own consortium. Just use public network and deploy your own smart contracts to it.
